After the science question paper of the Class 10 board exam was leaked, the opposition in Assam launched an offensive against the government and demanded the resignation of state education minister Ranoj Pegu on Monday.
The Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA) announced the cancellation of Monday’s examination late on Sunday evening after a paper leak came to light.
After the commencement of class 10 board examination in the state, several allegations have been made regarding paper leakage in other subjects. However, Education Minister Ranoj Pegu dismissed the claims as untrue and dismissed the allegations that the exam papers had been leaked.
On the second day of the budget session of the Assam Legislative Assembly on Monday, the opposition parties confronted the BJP-led government over the paper leak issue.
Congress leaders Debabrata Saikia and Rakibul Hussain claimed that the opposition wanted to raise the issue in the assembly but was barred from doing so.
The Congress has requested a detailed investigation into the situation under the supervision of a Supreme Court judge.
“The education minister should quit,” Sivasagar MP Akhil Gogoi demanded.
“The Chief Minister of Assam is the one who is always in the limelight. He gives all the credit to himself. Then he should also take responsibility for the question paper leak,” Gogoi said.
Meanwhile, facing criticism from all quarters, SEBA has scheduled a new examination date for the scientific paper. Students will attend the exam on March 30.
